# Why Are Your Frames So Expensive? Preserving your flowers into a beautiful, long-lasting memory is a lengthy process that requires weeks of labor and expensive materials. While we strive to make our frames as affordable as possible, our top priority is compensating our employees fairly and ensuring our customers a high-quality, custom-made product! **Our total cost includes:** * Compensation for our team of talented employees specializing in each step of the process * Materials required for preservation and assembling the final product * Shipping the finished frame to you **We *****do not***** cover:** * Shipping your bouquet to us * Replacing any blooms that arrive to us dead/not healthy enough to press --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
